This week: Lionel of Antwerp and the Entail of Edward III. Probably the least well-known of Edward III’s surviving sons. Lionel tried to rule Ireland on his father’s behalf. Tried is the operative word. While his life wasn’t a huge story, the lives of his daughter and descendants will play a huge role in the Wars of the Roses. I discuss Edward III’s entail, which excluded the descendants of Lionel, not that it stopped any of them from trying or succeeding at claiming the throne.
